Upwards scenario: A violation of next resistance at 1.3614 (R1) might call for a run towards to next target at 1.3629 (R2) and any further appreciation would then be limited to final target at 1.3644 (R3). Downwards scenario: Risk of market weakening is seen below the support level at 1.3580 (S1). Loss here is required to enable our supportive barrier at 1.3565 (S2) en route towards to final target for today at 1.3550 (S3).

Upwards scenario: Next resistive barrier locates at 1.6407 (R1). Violation here is required to provide a signal of further market strengthening. In such case, resistances at 1.6429 (R2) and 1.6450 (R3) acts as next attractive points for the bullish oriented traders. Downwards scenario: As long as price stays below the 20 SMA our technical outlook would be negative. Extension lower the next support level at 1.6374 (S1) is being able to drive market price towards to our next targets at 1.6353 (S2) and 1.6331(S3).
